Key Takeaways
1. Intel’s new Panther Lake processors have unknown names, with leaks suggesting Core Ultra X9 388H and Core Ultra X7 358H models.
2. The Core Ultra 5 338H has been identified on Geekbench, featuring a new integrated GPU called Arc B370.
3. The Arc B370 GPU scored 39,406 on Geekbench’s Vulkan benchmark, showing a 45% performance increase over the previous Arc 130V.
4. Intel claims a 50% performance improvement for integrated GPUs in the Panther Lake series.
5. The Core Ultra 5 338H is noted to have 12 CPU cores arranged in a two-cluster configuration, with suggestions of a mix of P-cores, E-cores, and LPE-cores.
Even though Intel has shared a lot about its new Panther Lake processors, the actual names of these chips are still unknown. So far, leaks have pointed to at least two models: Core Ultra X9 388H and Core Ultra X7 358H. Now, we are getting our first look at a non-X version.
Core Ultra 5 338H Appears
The Core Ultra 5 338H has been spotted on Geekbench with a brand-new integrated GPU: Arc B370. The name might be misleading since the “B” suggests it is built on the Xe2 Battlemage design rather than the Xe3 Alchemist. It’s also possible that Geekbench has mistakenly identified the GPU in what looks to be an early version of a laptop.
Performance Insights
Regardless, the Arc B370 achieved a score of 39,406 in Geekbench’s Vulkan benchmark. For comparison, the previous Arc 130V managed a score of 27,209 in the same test, indicating that the new chip is around 45% faster. This is quite close to Intel’s claimed 50% performance improvement for iGPUs in Panther Lake.
Additional Specifications
Finally, the listing reveals that the Core Ultra 5 338H features a total of 12 CPU cores. Geekbench categorizes it as a two-cluster configuration in an 8+4 arrangement. Nonetheless, an earlier leak suggested it would combine 4 P-cores, 4 E-cores, and 4 LPE-cores, which seems more likely.
